There were so many things that YouTube never taught me and that I only really learned because of the teachings that were inside of guitar books. Years later, I probably now have around forty guitar books stacked up on my bookshelf. My first year after picking up a guitar for the first time ever, I went to my local music store and purchased my very first guitar book. But, as I became a more advanced player, I quickly realized that that way of thinking was totally incorrect.

When I first picked up my guitar, I thought that YouTube was going to be the only teaching method that I would ever need.
